The photo should show our newest family member. I think he is too stout and fat headed to mind being outside in the cold. He appears to have a jolly sense of humor, kind of a cross between a gnome and one of Santa's elves. I hope your Saturday is going along well. May you have all you need right now to be well and happy.

I am doing the best I can to enjoy my Saturday working on sharing good news stories as well as completing surveys and cleaning up the cat litter as well as picking up the trash inside of the home.

@Deepizzaguy Cleaning up cat litter is necessary but not fun. Have a good rest of your day.

He looks as if he should have the sun radiating all around his mirthful face. Where did you get Sven?

@GardenGerty My town has several blocks of junk/antique shops. Sven waited for me in one of them.

@AmbiePam I bet he would. He was just too jolly to leave behind.

He is very nice. But he looks more like a gnome to me. Elves are thin.

@marguicha You're right. Elves have to be wiry and ready to wait on Santa, and do whatever he demands.
